023: [Video/Action] Zombies...they survived into the 26th century

[only_fell]

[There's a moment where she can't do anything, can't remember anything, can't move and holy Buddha...can't breathe. She starts clawing up through loose packed dirt, lungs screaming and she doesn't want to die right now. She doesn't want to be buried alive and she doesn't want to go this way. What if she comes back as a cockroach? Just as her lungs

action;

[notverypriestly]

[Her assumption should be confirmed when she starts to see the mohawk come out first. Once he feels air on his face, Priestly sees Inara and realizes just what's happening here.]

Oh, god, Inara!

[Flailing wildly, Priestly flaps at her to get away even as he pulls the rest of himself out of the dirt.]

You can't be near me! I'm undead, rising out of my grave! I'm a zombie! Oh this is bad, this is so bad. [He's also very serious. There is no joking here.] I'll want your brains!

Re: action;

[only_fell]

[The idea had been to help him out. The flailing and the proclamations of doom make her step back a bit, genuinely worried for a moment. It all ends when he says the word zombie]

Are you certain that's not an Italian sub you're craving?

Besides if you're a zombie, so am I. We can eat each other's brains.

[notverypriestly]

[At her lack of taking this seriously, Priestly begins to protest and intends to run away from her for her own good. Instead, when he notices that she's also covered in dirt, he flails more except this time it's angrily.]

What the fuck?! What did they put in those fucking sandwiches!? I swear to Christ and all his asshole disciples that I'm gonna have words with that place! Jesus fuck!

[only_fell]

[She appreciates the anger. It's endearing in fact.]

Somehow, I don't believe it was the sandwiches. However, we can ponder the possibility of hallucinogenics, submarine sandwiches, being buried alive and asshole disciples while I'm taking a bubble bath.

[She pauses, examining one hand]

I've got dirt under my fingernails.

[Not to mention said nails are hopelessly broken, chipped and blessing from the ordeal of crawling out of the grave]

[backseatangel]

INARA!

Oh, my GOD - are you alright?

[only_fell]

I will be as soon as I get into a bubble bath and have several glasses a glass of wine.

[In truth she's barely holding it together by a thread.]

[backseatangel]

Do you need me to bring you anything?

Crap, was Priestly with you!? Is he okay?

[only_fell]

We're both alright. Relatively speaking. When he found out I was stuck...he decided to join me.

[only_fell]

Menolly.

I'm alive. Breathing and in the process of drawing a bubble bath.

And trying very hard not to fall apart

[sings4dragons]

I imagine you'd need a long one after that. is there anything I can get for you or do for you?

Re: voice

[only_fell]

No. I just--need some time, a very long bath and some wine.

Thank you, Menolly.

It was my own fault. I should have known the city wouldn't let me check on anyone.
